Abstract
Due to their large bandwidth, relatively low cost, and robust performance, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio chips can be used for a wide variety of applications, including localization, communication, and radar. This article offers an exhaustive survey of recent progress in UWB radar technology. The goal of this survey is to provide a comprehensive view of the technical fundamentals and emerging trends in UWB radar. Our analysis is categorized into multiple parts. Firstly, we explore the fundamental concepts of UWB radar technology from a technology and standardization point of view. Secondly, we examine the most relevant UWB applications and use cases, such as device-free localization, activity recognition, presence detection, and vital sign monitoring, discussing each time the bandwidth requirements, processing techniques, algorithms, latest developments, relevant example papers, and trends. Next, we steer readers toward relevant datasets and available radio chipsets. Finally, we discuss ongoing challenges and potential future research avenues. As such, this overview paper is designed to be a cornerstone reference for researchers charting the course of UWB radar technology over the last decade.
